Abstract

DALSTROM, Stig. A new oliveriana (orchidaceae: oncidiinae) from Ecuador. Lankesteriana [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.3, pp.345-348. ISSN 1409-3871.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v16i3.27269.

A new species of Oliveriana is described and illustrated. It is compared with and distinguished from all other listed members of the genus by a unique combination of distinct features, such as the extremely elongate and narrow leaves, and a flower with a fleshy triangular lip. It is speculated here that this new species may be self-pollinating due to the high success of seed pod production, which is unusual among genera in Oncidiinae.

Keywords : Ecuador; new species; Oliveriana; Oncidiinae; Orchidaceae.
